If I Could Go Back - Thirty Word Thursday

Yarn, a big heart, and 39 grandchildren.

If I could go back to my childhood,

I’d hug
my Grandma

and tell her how much

the homemade mittens

meant to me.

Grandpa died when I was three and Grandma never had much. But every year at Christmas she had something for everyone of her 39 grandchildren. Mittens, pillow cases, hats, scarfs, and whatever else she could make. I can only imagine that she felt somewhat sad that we didn't get as excited about our gifts as she wanted us to be. It's too bad it takes growing older ourselves to understand and appreciate what she did for us. Her sacrifice, our reward. Wish she was here so I tell her that now I understand how nice those gifts really were.

That is really touching! I can feel the love for your grandma and how much it means to you, even if it is in hindsight. I am sure that she is smiling down on you that the lessons and values she was hoping you would learn has sunk in! Thank you for sharing that lovely tribute. Enjoy the day! Erin

About Me

I love photography but I will always be an amateur. I started taking pictures in my teens with my Canon TX and have been hooked ever since. I’ve gone through several cameras (almost all Canon’s) and thousands of pictures and now I want to share a few of my favorites. Please enjoy the beauty that God has put before us that I’ve been able to capture through the lens of my camera.
